Cleveland, OH – Visitors to the Auto Show will enter a new automotive era of innovation and technology. It’s the next generation of hybrids, advanced fuel cells, and electric plug-ins – a showcase of what’s new and what’s next. One vehicle featured in this year’s show, the Acura TL, has been named Official Car of the 2009 Cleveland Auto Show.

All show attendees can enter to win this award-winning car touted as the most powerful Acura ever built. It received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s “Top Pick for 2009,” and offers a combined EPA rating of 21 mpg. The retail value is approximately $35,000!

Auto Show 2009 Chairman and owner of Motorcars Acura-Volvo, Dick Marcellino says, “We are thrilled to be awarded Official Car of the 2009 Cleveland Auto Show. We are confident the 2009 Acura TL will impress show goers with this sixth-generation (ahem…fourth generation) TL that serves up performance in an audacious new look. And someone will win this fabulous car at the Cleveland Auto Show!”

Show attendees can enter to win the new 2009 Acura TL at the I-X Center, February 28 – March 8. Ten daily finalists will be chosen, but only one lucky winner will have the key that unlocks the door. The Grande Finale will be held on the final day of the Auto Show, Sunday, March 8th at 5:00pm.
